FNS 2008

A massive data breach involving the Russian Federal Tax Service FNS surfaced in 2008. The incident exposed sensitive personal information of approximately 1.6 million taxpayers. The leaked dataset contains detailed records including full names, individual taxpayer identification numbers INN, residential addresses, dates of birth, and passport details. This leak represents a significant compromise of government-held personal data from that period, likely originating from an internal database export or unauthorized access to regional tax authority systems.
